    well he was already pretty much a lock for the No. 1 pick next year(would be this year) but this kills any tiny amount of doubt surrounding him. But someone that big shouldn't run that fast, and I see him dominating for years to come

    Manziel or Bridgewater will be the first pick.

    You may be right, but the combine at Indianapolis could be a different story; a lot of guys "reportedly" run 4 whatever at unofficial workouts and then end up running way north of there.

    I don't know if anyone expected (non homer) expected teo to run 4.5s and 4.6s.

    Even if Clowney runs a 4.7 like mario williams, it's still pretty incredible.

    He should dropped out of college and just train by himself.

    No need to risk injury or messing up your draft stock with a bad year, just look at Matt Barkley.

    QB's are typically taken higher than their grade due to the value of the position. Walterfootball.com has 1. Bridgewater 2. Manziel 3. Clowney

    No anymore. The rookie cap is putting an end to this. Plus, Clowney is a once in a generations athletic freak.

    ...And Teddy is more VY than cornball brother RG3 so no numero uno.

    Todd McShay says that Teddy Bridgewater has a monster upside, and will be a top 10 selection when he declares

    I have a picture of my dad standing next to Manziel, I'd say 6-1 is a stretch.

    Clowney is a freak but a DE can do so much. ala JJ Watt.

    QB's with tons of upside and production like Bridgewater and Manziel will be revered by teams like Jacksonville, Oakland, Cleveland looking for transcendent franchise QB's next year.

    I just don't see "tons of upside" with Manziel as I see with Bridewater. Manziel is great athlete with decent arm strenght and alright accuracy. His running around in circles and throwing the football technique wont work to well in the nfl.
